Everything Charlotte writes is worth reading, but please give your time to this.

“The country needs to understand the career that Hegseth is so shamelessly slandering in his quest for political retribution.”
"I doubt Senator Kelly will see this blog, and if he does see it, I imagine he will not be pleased with it. He’ll probably find it embarrassing. His humility likely makes him bristle at stuff like this. Well, that’s just too damn bad, Senator."

The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.

This year, statues of tall men clad in all black with masks drawn up to hide their faces are disrupting the serenity of a Charlotte church's Nativity scene.

The figures are depicted approaching the Holy Family and the Wise Men with handcuffs as if preparing to make an arrest.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's a day, & the president is illegally monetizing the office & stealing the power of the purse. Again.

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Breakfast costs HOW much???

Grocery bills tell the truth Trump won’t: he promised lower prices, but costs keep climbing.

Biden knew—EVERYONE knows—broad-based tariffs and economic uncertainty are pocketbook poison, but Trump does what he wants, and families pay the price.

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

Here’s your daily reminder that, about a week ago, the president straight-up admitted he had no idea who he was pardoning—only did it because his sons told him to.

There’s a lot going on, but I still think that’s one of the biggest scandals in the country right now—and the media is just silent.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

There is so much damage done to our agencies with these losses. The amount of institutional knowledge and expertise that we have hemorrhaged this year is nigh incalculable. I am not sure how we will recover from this. Or if we even can. And for those of us left, the stress is intense. Every day. 🤬🤬🤬
